In the course of Wednesday we will gradually notice it: the wind is increasing and those are the first hints of two stormy days ahead. Thursday and Friday we will have to deal with a stormy west to northwest wind through Dudley and Eunice.
The center of gravity of the wind at storm Dudley is expected on Thursday in the Wadden area and in the head of North Holland. On Friday, especially later in the day, it can also rage on the west coast as storm Eunice approaches.
Dudley and Eunice follow storm Corrie
The first official storm of this year, which two weeks ago wreaked havoc and caused more than 10 million euros in damage in the Netherlands, was given the name Corrie. The storm was named after Corrie van Dijk. In 1964 she was the first female meteorologist to be employed by the KNMI.
Eunice also has a Dutch origin. Eunice Foot is considered one of the first climate scientists. She studied the heating of air by the sun, and how that warming increased under the influence of carbon dioxide. Later this would be called the greenhouse effect.
Dudley was conceived by the Scots, because that storm will mainly rage over Scotland and the United Kingdom.
There is a chance of very strong wind gusts along the entire coast. The anemometers may even point to 120 kilometers per hour. Deeper inland there is also a chance of heavy to very heavy wind gusts around 100 kilometers per hour. “The course of both storms can still change in the coming days and the exact impact on our country is therefore uncertain. With the current weather forecast, there is a good chance that the storms will produce a code yellow and possibly a code orange. Wind gusts cause by far the most nuisance and damage,” says meteorologist Roosmarijn Knol Weatheronline†
A few other weather model calculates that initially it will not be too bad with the wind, but that it will get soaking wet during the day on Friday. “There are even some sleet signals for the far northeast of the country. With this outcome, the evening rush hour will also be hit hard by the precipitation and there will be many traffic jams,” predicts weatherman Raymond Klaassen of Weather Plaza† “It is not yet clear which way it will go. Regardless of the outcome, we are in for a few heady days.”
